Do I Really Need an Executive Assistant?

Thinking about hiring an executive assistant? It might seem like a luxury, but trust me, it's an investment you can't afford to skip. Sure, you're a pro at handling your workload, but imagine the possibilities: you might need someone to help you prioritize and delegate. An executive assistant isn't just a doerthey're a leader, taking a load off your shoulders and making you look good in the process. They're like your playbook, running the ball down the field for you or scoring independently. Sounds pretty great, right?

Skeptical about the cost? Here's the scoop: you can't afford not to have one in the long run.

If you don't quite have the budget, don't worry. Here are a few ways you can dip your toes in with much less or no financial investment:

• Hire a part-time or fractional executive assistant.
• Identify the tasks on your list that only you can do.
• Track your time to gather data on where your time is going.
• Use this data as a conversation starter with your organization about opportunity costs.
